C., Wednesday Afternoon, ^ovember 23, 1921 3c Per Copy SPLENDID LYCEUM COURSE FOR UNION , A splendid lyceum course of attractions hus been contracted for by j . Grace Circle of the Methodist church. x The opening number is scheduled for next Tuesday night and will be Lieurance's Symphony Orchestra of Chicago. This organization is one which has been especially coached by Mr. Thurlow Lieuance, the well known composer and authority on Indian music. There are seven artists in the company, including Miss Violet Falk, the contralto soloist. The second number of the course is Oyapela and Co. Oyapela, which means "singing water", is the niece of the chief of the Creek Indians. She is one of the literary minds of her race and her program is a story that is new. She translates in fascinating stjte the myths and legends of her peopfr and the audience gets them lirst\yand just as Oyapela learned them aAMind the camp tires of her people. Her great-grandfather led the Creek Indians from Georgia to Oklahoma after the Revolutionary war. An interpretation of the wooing of Hiawatha with appropriate and beautiful music will be a feature of Oyapela's appearance in addition to the myth and legend recital. With her is Miss Fannie Wienstock of Milwaukee, violinist, and Miss Gene Burton, pianist, and their part, on the program fits in well with Oyapela. This attraction is booked for December 5th. The third number is the Bell Bunging Male Quartette. A quartette of clever young Americans appearing in tuneful vocal melodies, bell ringing numbers of real merit character sketches and original specialty productions. These young men are all extremely versatile artistics. Their performance has brilliancy, snap and appeals to the host in the musical natures of their listeners. They sing true and ring true. The Parker Fennclly Duo is the fourth number of the course and this company gives a fine program of short plays, humorous and serious interspersed with monologues, piano logues and musical readings*. It is a wonderful, ^onip.niy. ^ Ph8" filth numbeV is the Chicago Ladies Sextette?is an orchestra worthy of the name of the great city they > represent and they please wherever they go. The rare combination of genius, experience, versatility and genuine ability have brought the Chicago Ladies Sextette to a position erf prominence in the pronounced successes of concert organization. Hearing them is convincing proof of this. The Grace Circle is to be congratulated in undertaking such a wonderful course for Union and they will be I out for the next few days selling sea son tickets for the five attractions at a very low cost. These same attractions are booked in all the principle cities and towns throughout the South by the Alkahest Lyceum System of Atlanta, the strongest and oldest Luceum Bureau in the South today. The attractions will be given in the High school auditorium and no more tickets will bQ sold than will cover the limited seating capacity of the aditorium. ' The members of the Circle expect tc. dispose of all their tickets within a few days. Adults' season tickets for the five attractions, $2.00. Child's season tickets, $1.50. In addition to the tickets being sold by the ladies sae may be purchased at Tinsley's and all the drug stores.

In shaping their suggistions, the American delegation took Ifrto considration many things beside* the mere [Uestion of capital ship tfWinage, in crms 01 wnicn the plan Was finally et down. Estimates of naval strength f each power included, -1$ is said, stimates of each of its wfcole build eg programs and of its financial bility and mechanical eqtipment to xecute any building program it light deisre if competittvji building /as to continue. The 5-5-3 ration of the* American eplacement scheme to ep/i competiive building and all its eylls and the leet strength that would' temain uner the proposed immediate reductions on the eve of a ten ; year compete building holiday both are under, toon to reflect this summary of maters not susceptible of mathematical rcatment. So in the Aiperican vieSii the quesion understood to have jbeen raised iy the Japanese as to the-'exncl sta'e f completion of the battldfchAp tyiutsu, vhich Japan would be caled on to chap .as a part of her abafjdoned prorram, is immaterial. insisted nd Great Britain. For each of those towers it would mean more than a ingle additional ship. The United States has three ships /hich would be retained, it is conended, under any argument tha4 /ould permit the Mutsu to survive, f the cleancut proposal of Secretary lughes to cut the knot of competi ive uuuuing at tne line 01 iNOveniDer 1 is to be abandoned, it is urged, all f these three might be retained by he Uni d States, for they ranged on lovember 10 from 80 per cent compete for the Colorado to 64 per cent omplete for the West Virginia. And he American or British equivalent or the Mutsu would be more than one hip each, if ratios of existing trength are t<5 be followed. It is because of these consideraions that American officials appear opeful that in the end the work of he experts will come out at practical y the place the American plan did n November 11?the "zero hour'* for he cut. The arguments that have een raised as to the effect of differnt methods of calculating tonnage, ifferences in formulating the rate f progress og construction of new hips into definite percentages do no* hance the American view, it is held, hat the 5-6_3 ratio nis wholly fair.

'22.?Extension of executive clemency to offenders against the war time laws now serving prison sentences will be given early consideration by President Harding, it was said today at the White House. The subject was discusser! at. the cabinet meeting today and it was understood that u policy of leniency toward these offenders where possible was generally approved. The president has asked the attorney general for a digest of each of these cases and Mr. Daugherty expects to have the histories of the war law prisoners completed in two weeks. Under the administration's policy 1J 1? ? ? - uiv-ic vywuiu uk 110 sweeping prociiimation of amnesty, it was said oftieiaily, but each case would be considered on its merits separately and military as well as a civil offender would be considered. However, the president is understood to view with disfavor the release of persons who advocated property destruction or industrial offenders, although particular attention will be given those guilty of infractions of disciplinary regulations of more or less seriousness. There axe, according to Mr. Dauglierty, about 75 civilian war time law offenders now serving sentences in federal prisons and 14 soldiers who would come within the clemency progrant. A study of the treatment of this class of offenders by foreign nations as well as the precedents established in this country after the Confederate war has been begun by the department, Mr. Daugherty declared, to aid the administration in reaching its decision. He indicated that the justice department would favor freedom foi those prcsioners by pardon, commutation of sentence or parole where the facts in the various cases and good conduct! records would warrant it Mr. Daugherty also declared he intend to obtain from the district attorneys throughout the country a list ol ti*e cases of war law offenders still 'tiTmdtrig' f&r rofeTSJerntitm-" vrtifc-sr-vicvi 10 bringing them to a close. The question of freedom for Eugene V. Debs, Socialist loader, imprisoned at Atlanta, will be treated separately, Mr. Daugherty said, adding that recommendations to the president on the subjects have been cumlili'tfvl nlthniiorh it wna iin<li>r-o rwi.l there would be no possibility of action before Thanksgiving. Any aflirmativc action in the case, he said, would bo either a pardon or a commutation as Debs was not eligible for parole, which requires that the prisoner should have served one-third of his sentence. Debs will not have served a third of his ten year sentence until next August. Capt. Thomas Out Again Capt.

"We will prove that Arbuekle was not in the hotel room more than tei minutes with Miss Virginia Rappe,' McNnb continued. Arbuekle is ae cuscd of h iving indicted fatal injuries on Miss Kanpe. a motion picture ac tress, in his hotel rooms September ."> Gsjorge Glcnnon, house detective ol the hotel, was the first witness eallei by the defense. The court ruled out MeNal's at tempts to have the witness detail ; conversation he had with Miss Ruppt following her alleged injuries at Av buckle's bands. Before the trial the defense an nounccd that Glcnnon has made j statement to the district attorney i: which he said that Miss Rappe ha< exonerated Arbuekle. Glcnnon was excused from the stam following the court's ruling. Kate Brenr.an, a maid at the hoU! iouoweu uicnuon and testified tha she dusted olF the two doors introduced by the prosecution for ting" print evidence, some time after th. linger prints were supposed to ha\c been made by Arbuckle and Mis Rappe. The defense endeavored t prove that, in the dusting process sin rubbed out the finger prints. Arbuckle pave her a tip of $2.50 f<> eleanin r his room and offering he. ; ome whiskey which she refused, Mis j Rrennan testified. Mrs. lx?is Harding Lancashire, : i guest at the hotel during the party said she was near the rooms and heart ' and saw nothing. ! j More general interest was evidence: ' in the trial today than on any da; since it began. Crowds thronged tin " court room and the adjoining corri "I dors, or waited outside to obtain ; glimpse of the prisoner, 'i A1 Semnacher, manager for Mis: rlthprio, arid Tosedhme ehurmber maid, told of the party in the hot?

Miss Rappe at the time of the sup I , ? pusvu Mums, was open or an union The window shades were up at nl t imes also, he said, and the interior o the room was therefore in full view of other hotel guests. Following the statement a techniea argument arose over the testimony o George Glennon, hotel detective, whie! resulted in his being excused from th, stand until authorities could be calle> to settle the point. This was in rela tion to admissions made to the wit ncss by Miss Rappe following th; party. Arbuekle's attitude bordered on tie jovial throughout the day. Mrs. Mint; Durfce Arbuckle, rfis wife, wept a times.

Washington, Nov. 22.?The negoti. at ions relating to both the Far East f and armament limitation moved more . slowly today as the attention of the . arms delegates passed from general . policies to specific details. , China's economic embarrassments . formed the text of the Far Eastern discussion, which resulted in the ap; pointment of a subcommittee of repj resentatives of nine nations to study he whole subject of administrative . autonomy for the Chinese republic, < with particular reference to tariff and ax restrictions. The land armament . problem also was considered at vari[ his informal conferences during the j lay and a meeting of the armament. committee of the whole was called for toorrow with the ex, nictation that Premier Br and of ranee would say a last word as to . lis country's attitude on reduction of irmie . It is understood that he is mxious to bring the question to a mint of a formal expression by the (inference before his departure for I 'ranee. On the side of naval armament, in' formal exchanges continued between tulividual delegates and naval ex>erts with an air of growing contilence that details of the American fan although requiring considerable imo for determination would eventual!'.' brine all the nowers into airree nent. It is possible that the naval plan nay r.-ceivo sonic consideration at tonorrow's meeting of the five delegations which constitute the armament ommittoe of the whole, bit the greater attention is expected to eener on land armament in view of the mmiivnce of M. Briand's departure, t is the provision of her army with ho moral backing of t'ne priiiL-ipal lowers that most interests France at .he present stage of the negotiations nd it is known that M.

Whether the other delegations will 'ie willing to go so far as to take - "ormal 'notion of that character. jttst? r.ow is uncertain, although it is taken for granted that at tomorrow's meetog there will be many general expressions of appreciation for the rea ous v; icn impci r ranee to maintain tu- lai'jrest army in the world. I.and, naval and Far Eastern quesions were talked over by Secretary TIughes today with the American ndisory committee of 21 and after he had presented a report on the present talus of the negotiations a number f subcommittees were instructed to .roparo reports for the American iolegates on various subjects of deail. The submarine issue raised by i Ire at Britain will be one of the quesions to be thus investigated and an(ther whose inclusion was regarded s forecasting an entirely new angle of the negotiations will be the use and legitimacy of new weapons of warfare. Thus far that subject has ot been mentioned in the conference proper.
